Treatment
Previous Treatment:
A plaster cured his pain in a prior outbreak.
Ongoing Treatment:He has applied a plaster compounded of 'hernia & de minlo'.
Response:The plaster has given him some ease, but Bruen is still inclined to take something else. He thinks perhaps 'scio turpentine & a decoct. of fry-root.', but he will not make use of these things until Sloane approves.
